The Halfling Makes a MoveJust do it.Victoria stared down at her new phone, her thumb hovering over the call button. Her father's number glared up at her.Man up, Victoria. Her stomach was twisting into knots. She badly wanted to call her father but she was so nervous. What would he say? Would he be upset? Sad? Angry?She huddled on her bed, the blankets wrapped around her shoulders. It had started to snow again and there was a chill in the air. Jasper had left just minutes ago after hours of hard-core zombie killing. At first he'd been reluctant to play but her persistence prevailed. Within minutes the demon had been addicted, insisting they play level after level. Who would have thought that Jasper had an inner gamer just waiting to come out? He would probably still be playing if the sun hadn't set.But the night belonged to Sebastian. She shuddered, desire already coiling in her stomach. When would he come to her? What did he have planned for tonight? She almost couldn't wait to f
Pleasure and RegretShe nearly moaned.Sebastian's lips were hot and firm, like his body. He was so tall she had to stand on the tip of her toes just to reach him. And even then she had to pull his head down to meet her.As she kissed him Sebastian stood completely still and for one heart stopping moment she worried that he didn't want her. Then he growled, his hands lowering to grip her ass.She whimpered as he pressed her tighter against him. She could feel the hard planes of his chest and torso and it excited her. The ridge of his erection jutted against her belly from beneath his jeans and she gasped, pulling back slightly. "Sebastian.""I want you," he grated roughly. Her heart slammed in her chest and he growled again.Hauling her off her feet he slanted his lips over hers once more. The intense stab of desire shocked her. She cried out and his tongue plunged between her lips. Oh god, his taste! Hot and smooth with a hint of whiskey.Sebastian devoured her mouth, his tongue thru
Face of the Demon KingVictoria held back tears. Her body was still in pain but the discomfort was rapidly vanishing. She could already feel the bite on her lip healing.The physical pain wasn't the reason her eyes welled with sadness, it was because her demon was suffering.Victoria couldn't deny she was disappointed. Sebastian had given her so much pleasure; she would have done anything for more. She also knew he fought his inner demon each time he was with her, and that it had only been a matter of time before he lost control. That wasn't his fault. He couldn't refute his inner demon. Even after her short time with him she could see that. If only she could make him understand that as well."You're not a monster, Sebastian-""Enough!" he bellowed. With a snarl he smashed his fist into a side table. She heard it shatter, crushed into pieces. She jumped but still didn't back away from him. "After all I've done how can you not see it?""Please, just listen to me.""No!" A dark hand sla
Vincent's DesperationBelfast, Ireland"Vincent Shaw, back so soon?" The witch raised a brow, tapping a red nail against the counter of roughened wood. Over her shoulder hovered her familiar, a strange blueish creature that reminded him of a fat little gremlin with wings.Grace the Enchanted was one of the oldest witches he knew. Although she appeared in her twenties, with bright blue hair and even brighter blue eyes, she was older than himself by several centuries. When he'd been a boy Grace used to visit his pack often, playing with the pups and showing off her magic. Now she spent her days holed up in her old magic shop, selling trinkets to human tourists. Of course, the humans were completely unaware that hidden in the back was another shop possessing real items of power, ones meant only for the supernatural.Vincent crinkled his nose, the numerous scents of the old shop assaulting his senses. The tiny room was cluttered with bookshelves bearing potions, scrolls, and various trink
The Demon and His HalflingVictoria sighed, slipping down further into the warm tub. After their tryst in the snow Sebastian had carried her back to the castle, clutching her tightly against his warm chest. She'd been shocked at just how far she'd run.Jasper had been waiting for them, urgently insisting Sebastian come with him. Thankfully, Jasper had been fine, nearly healed from Sebastian's claws. He did not appear at all upset by what had happened.She had been disappointed that her demon had to leave her, and judging by the Sebastian's growls he'd clearly disliked it as well. After carrying Victoria back to her room the demon kissed her deeply, his lips lingering as if he was loath to leave. Then he left to find Jasper, cursing under his breath.Washing away the dirt and grim she inspected herself for any wounds. Her body wasn't in any pain and her scratches and bruises were already completely healed.Bonus points for being a halfling. She didn't want to admit that she was even re
The Halfling Get's Pissed"What do you mean no sex?"Sebastian stood dumbfounded as Victoria rounded on him. When he'd summoned her to his office that evening and informed her of his decision he had not expected this reaction.The halfling was pissed.He had to swallow before he could say, "It's for the best.""Well thank you for deciding that for me, Bastian," she huffed.Wincing he resisted the urge to tug at the collar of his shirt. Now that she'd seen his demonic form there was no point in hiding from her. Instead he decided to try and not look like the wild monster he was as much as possible.For the first time in centuries he was wearing a fucking shirt, and he hated it. He'd already yanked open the first three buttons and rolled up the sleeves. The fabric felt foreign over his chest, constricting him. But the look of approval in Victoria's eyes when she first walked into his office had made it all worth it.Of course now she was glaring at him. "You're angry?"She rolled her ey
The Demon Could Kill"Amazing," Charles breathed, leaning forward into Jasper's personal space and scrutinizing his face. "You can truly turn incorporeal? I find that remarkable."Jasper actually fucking blushed and Sebastian just covered his mouth to hide his shock. Never once in nearly a millennium had Sebastian ever seen the spectral demon flustered."Charles, space," Damian said."What?" Charles looked around, as if suddenly realizing there were other people in the room beside himself and Jasper. As soon as the vampire laid eyes on the spectral demon he'd been completely enthralled."You're invading it," Damian explained."Oh? I do apologize." Charles turned his attention back on Jasper and grinned. "Perhaps you could visit me at Grey Manor? I would very much enjoy your company."Jasper's mouth opened before he snapped it shut. Flushing a deep shade of red he nodded."Excellent. I look forward to it." Taking a seat in front of Sebastian's desk Charles crossed his hands over his st
Overwhelming PleasureAs Sebastian carried her through the castle Victoria didn't try to fight him. Instead she pressed her cheek against his strong back, his skin hot against her own. One of his big hands covered her ass, kneading her curves.Mine. The word replayed in her head over and over. The way he said it and the look in his eyes...Reaching the opposite wing he entered an unfamiliar bedroom, kicking the door shut behind him.Victoria knew instantly that this was his room. The antique furniture was dark and masculine, marred with scratches. The walls had deep claw marks and gouges embedded in the stone. His scent was everywhere, making her head spin.Why had she never noticed his scent before? Warm and masculine, it was delicious.Sebastian strode straight into an enormous bathroom. Without a word he turned on the shower. Then he gave her ass a hard squeeze before sliding her slowly down his body until her feet hit the floor.Her breath hitched when he took a step back and strip
What the hell just happened?Eve sat down in a chair, fighting tears. She was torn between fury and anguish. She'd never been so confused in her life.She couldn't seem to get a handle on Vincent. He was so caring and protective one minute, angry and insulting the next. Were all wolves like this?Or was this a Legion trait?That last thought struck her hard. This man could very well be evil. One didn't just join the Legion for a good time. She had no idea who this man was or what he'd done in the past. He could be no better than a savage Forsaken, or Hunter.Oh god.She swallowed hard, panic rising up her throat. It had been over eighty years since she'd last seen a Hunter. Memories of fire and screams filled her mind. Shaking her head she forced the images away, jumping to her feet and pacing around the kitchen.Vincent was nothing like that. He couldn't be. Sure, he was rough around the edges, but he was also so gentle. And last night...Her stomach clenched. Blushing she leaned aga
When he struggled awake the next morning Vincent was both pissed and immediately wanted to punch himself.Firstly, Evelyn was not in the bed with him, nor in the cottage.Secondly, what the fuck did he do last night?He turned onto his back and stared up at the ceiling, rubbing a hand over his face in agitation. He had to be losing his goddamn mind. Dry humping Evelyn in the middle of the fucking night! What the hell had he been thinking?He hadn't been. He'd let his dick and his wolf do the thinking for him. And he'd loved every damn minute.His wolf let out a growl. It wanted to find Evelyn. He wanted to find Evelyn.Where the fuck was Evelyn?Sitting up he let out a snarl at the empty cottage. That girl was a walking accident waiting to happen. He did not like having her out of sight.His chest constricted. What if she left? She was so innocent and soft. What if he'd frightened her off?Fuck, fuck, fuck!An uncomfortable feeling settled in his gut. He felt like he might be sick.Wh
Vincent gritted his teeth as Evelyn wrapped her arms around his neck and called his name. Her little body stiffened, her back arching, as her hips bucked erratically. He held her tight as her body shook with her orgasm, just stopping himself from spilling his seed between her soft thighs.Tears streamed down her cheeks, shock intermixed with pleasure in her big silver eyes. She's never come before. Fuck!His hands clenched around her waist. His wolf demanded he take her fully, to sink into her tight heat and make her come over and over. Even in its weakened state it took him several long moments to wrestle back into control.Never had he been so fucking turned on. And by a little virgin halfling! He was half-dead and his damn cock was throbbing for Christ sakes. It thrilled him to be the first to give Evelyn pleasure. The dominant wolf in him wanted to be the only man to ever give her pleasure.She stilled against him, dragging in a deep breath. "Vincent," she whimpered."I'm not done
Eve snapped awake to a dark cottage. A heavy arm was wrapped around her stomach, constricting her movements. Blushing she peered over at Vincent's blurry form. The big male had rolled over in his sleep, pinning her against his side with one muscular arm. She could feel the hot heat of his body against her backside.His very naked body.Her heart slamming in her chest she tried to shove away his arm and create some space. He grumbled in his sleep and pulled her tighter, pressing his face against the back of her neck."Vincent?" she whispered loudly, shaking his arm. "Vincent, let me go."He mumbled something incoherently before sliding his hand to her hip. Sighing in relief she made to move away, only to freeze in shock as his hand drifted up over her hip and cupped her breast."Vincent!" she squealed, slapping at his hand. He only gripped her harder, his fingers curling over the top of her camisole and pulling the fabric down over her breast. The cool night air tickled her sensitive s
Eve watched Vincent as he lay on the bad. Even with his eyes shut he looked pissed. The man completely threw her off. She had no experience to fall back on when it came to dealing with his moods or aggressive behavior. Biting her lip she gazed at him from under her lashes. He was so ruggedly handsome, his nose straight and narrow. His thick beard was wild and masculine under his high cheek bones. She found herself itching to touch it.The werewolf frightened her, but to her acute embarrassment he also aroused her. And he knew it! When he'd pinned her down on the bed....her heart had never beat so fast. Her lustful reaction was shocking. She still ached.Swallowing, Eve ran a hand over her mouth. This was crazy. She just need a good night's sleep. The last couple days had been rough to say the least. On top of that she'd spent the night sleeping awkwardly in a hard chair. Her exhausted body was already demanding she lay down in her bed and sleep.Her eyes widened with realization. S
Vincent wanted to throttle the girl. He moaned and rubbed a hand over his face, blinking his eyes repeatedly. For most of the day he'd been in and out of consciousness. At least he was no longer seeing random colors, for a time Evelyn's face had been lavender.Evelyn thankfully kept quiet, popping out of the cottage whenever he came too. At least the woman was intelligent enough to make herself scarce after accidentally drugging him. It seemed he just couldn't win as of late.The door opened with a bang, letting in a brisk cold breeze. Evelyn stumbled inside, her arms laden with firewood. She kicked the door shut with a grunt, nearly falling over backwards. Vincent shook his head as he watched her struggle. The girl was the definition of clumsy. It amazed him that she had managed to survive on her own at all.Dumping the wood by the stove she straightened, her thick glasses sitting crookedly on her nose and long strands of hair falling over her face. His inner wolf found it oddly end
Nicholas StormNorthern Romania, Castle of the Demon KingCrossing his arms Nicholas Storm leaned back against the door-frame with a smirk. Victoria and Jasper were on the couch, shouting to each other as they vigorously pressed buttons on their controllers. On the large flat screen alien hordes attacked in vicious waves.In the corner of the great room the vampire Charles Lockhart spoke in hushed tones to King Sebastian. Occasionally the two would glance over at their mates on the couch and chuckle with affection. A fire burned in the large hearth, spreading its warmth and soft glow about the room, as snow fell outside the windows.The scene was odd to him. He supposed that shouldn't surprise him. From boyhood his life had always been focused on his next kill. Whether it was to survive, fight for his King, or for pay, Nicholas had killed more than he could remember. He didn't deny that he relished the fight, the stronger the opponent the better. It was one of the reasons he became a
Eve watched the big male as he scowled and muttered to himself for several minutes. Gnawing on her lip she finally asked quietly, "Are you thirsty?"His intense glare snapped back to her and she almost regretted the question. He looked as if he would reprimand her before his features softened. "Aye, I could use some water."She almost shuddered at the sound of his voice. She'd never heard anything so attractive before. It was deep and gravely, with an accent she didn't recognize. Russian maybe."Where are you from?" she asked curiously."Lithuania," he replied absently.Eve wondered if that was where his pack had originated. And just where was his pack? She didn't know much about werewolves but they always traveled in packs, didn't they?Out of the corner of her eye she looked him over. The swelling and bruising on his face had healed dramatically and she could now see that he was in fact very handsome in a rugged, dangerous kind of way. She hadn't lied about the elixir she'd given hi
Vincent awoke to bright light glaring into his eyes. He cursed roughly and tried to roll over. Agonizing pain shot up his arm at the movement and he stiffened.He was in a small cottage, with stone walls and dark wood beams. Frowning he took in the unfamiliar surroundings. The cottage was warm, the smell of lavender and honeysuckle hanging lightly in the air. He supposed it would be considered charming, if it wasn't for all the clutter and junk piled over the floor and furniture.A soft sigh sounded next to him. Tensing he glanced down and glowered. There was a small woman sleeping in a chair beside him. She was hunched over, her arms crossed over the side of the bed with her head resting on top.Vincent sneered at the girl. She appeared weak and feeble, neither traits he found desirable. She was a tiny thing; he doubted she would reach past his chest standing upright. Her body was slim, with surprisingly wide hips and a narrow waist. A thick strand of hair covered her face. It was li
